25 Latin Songs to Celebrate Mother’s Day

As Mother’s Day approaches on your calendars this Sunday, May 12 (celebrated on May 10 in Mexico), we’ve curated the perfect Día de las Madres playlist to enhance your celebration. This carefully selected 25-track list features an eclectic mix of Spanish-language songs that pay heartfelt tributes to mothers everywhere.

From the emotional depths of Juan Gabriel‘s “Amor Eterno,” a poignant piece written in memory of his mother, to the contemporary vibes of Eladio Carrión‘s “Mama’s Boy,” our playlist spans generations and musical styles. Laura Pausini‘s tender “A Ella Le Debo Mi Amor” is an ode to her daughter, expressing the boundless love of a mother through soul-stirring lyrics and melodious tunes.

Andrea Echeverri of Aterciopelados contributes the uplifting “A Eme O,” a creative expression of love for her daughter, showcasing deep, meaningful lyrics that resonate with any listener. Additionally, we’ve included a track from Xavi‘s My Mom’s Playlist EP, which features his renditions of his mother’s favorite songs, released on Mexican Mother’s Day last year. His cover of Selena’s “No Me Queda Más” stands out.

Also, no Mother’s Day serenata is complete without the ranchera offerings of Vicente Fernández. Not your conventional ode about thanking mom, “Perdón Madrecita” sees its protagonist returning to their mom, seeking comfort and healing from emotional wounds inflicted by their unfaithful partner, while acknowledging the unconditional love and understanding only a mother can provide.

Explore the full breadth of our Mother’s Dayplaylist below to discover additional treasures, such as Los Tigres del Norte’s “Madrecita Querida,” Ricardo Arjona’s “Mi Novia Se Me Está Poniendo Vieja” and more from artists like Eslabon Armado, Natalia Lafourcade, and Victor Manuelle. The 25 tracks, dedicated to the incredible woman who enriches our lives, are listed in alphabetical order by artist name.
